How to convert PDF pages to JPG
- Add your PDF. JPG is already selected as the output format.
- Set the quality if you care about the size-to-sharpness trade-off, and pick a background colour for anything transparent on the page.
- Want only some pages? Untick the ones you don't need, or use Select range.
- Press Export JPG. A single page downloads as one image; several pages come back as a ZIP in page order.
JPG, JPEG, and which one you get
JPG and JPEG are the same format — the short name is a leftover from filenames being limited to three letters. The files produced here use the .jpg extension, and any program that opens JPEG will open them.
Each page is rendered 1500 px wide with the height following the page proportions, so an A4 portrait page comes out around 1500 × 2121 px. That is a good size for slides, documentation and previews without producing enormous files.
Quality and transparency
The quality setting is a real encoder setting, not a label: lower values genuinely produce smaller files with more visible compression, higher values do the opposite. There is no single correct number — for text-heavy pages a high setting is worth the bytes, for photos the middle is usually enough.
JPG has no transparency. Anything transparent on the page is composited onto the background colour you chose, which is why that control exists. If you need to keep transparency, PDF to PNG is the format for it.
Frequently asked questions
Can I choose the resolution?
Not directly. Pages render at a fixed 1500 px width; the quality setting controls compression rather than pixel dimensions.
Why is one page a JPG but several a ZIP?
One page is what you asked for, so it downloads directly. Several would mean several downloads in a row, so they are packed into one ZIP in page order instead.
What does the background colour do?
It fills anything transparent on the page, since JPG cannot store transparency. White suits documents; black is there for pages designed on dark backgrounds.
Is JPG or PNG better for my pages?
Text and line art usually look cleaner as PNG. Photographic pages are much smaller as JPG at a quality most people cannot distinguish.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Rendering and encoding both happen inside your browser.
